Smitten Polish Berrydrops Swatch and Review

Today I have three of the six Berrydrops from a recent Smitten Polish collection.  I chose the three that stood out the most to me and I think you'll agree that these polishes are just amazing!  The Berrydrop polishes are "A collection of gumdrop themed polishes, with names inspired by berries - some real, some imaginary. Crelly bases with subtle tiny flakies."

Bananaberry Gumdrop - Huckleberry Gumdrop - Gooseberry Gumdrop

The first polish up is Bananaberry Gumdrop.  I'm totally a sucker for yellow polishes.  This polish is a sheer, yellow jelly-like polish with white flakes that builds nicely.  Yellows are typically a pain, but streakiness wasn't an issue here!  Shown is four thin (super thin) coats.  I have a pretty light hand with polish, so you could likely do 3 thicker coats.  All swatches in this post are over Barielle Advanced Pro and sealed with Out the Door.

Next is Huckleberry Gumdrop, I think if I had to choose, this was my favorite.  Shown here is three thin coats.  Huckleberry Gumdrop is bluer than Snozzberry Gumdrop which leans more teal and is darker.  I don't usually go crazy for blues but I am completely "Smitten" ;) with this one!

Lastly is Gooseberry Gumdrop which is a fun, light shade of green.  This is another one which won over my heart as I don't go for green too often.  Shown here is four thin coats, although I could have definitely stopped at three.

Overall, I was IMPRESSED with the formula, but Smitten Polish always has amazing formulas.  These applied super smoothly, very easily.  I love the effect of the white flakes, I don't have any colored polishes that look like these, so they're most certainly a unique addition to my collection.

Smitten Polish - Chocolate Bunny Soup

I have such a soft spot for my Smitten polishes.  I love them all, so so much.  Most definitely my favorite indie brand and Noelie is such a sweetheart as well!

I really like chocolatey brown polishes (hence why I've made a few myself!) and the circle glitter and subtle golden shimmer just make this polish so lovely.  Shown is four thin (very thin) coats - I could've done three thick ones but I wanted to build up glittery depth.  This is over Orly Bonder and sealed with Out the Door.  This is a jelly based polish with 3 types of circle glitter and a lovely shimmer.

The polish is inspired by those chocolate bunnies you see at Easter time and their candy eyes.. all melted down in polish form, too clever!!

Smitten Polish - Pink Lemonade

I am soooooooooooooooooooooooo in love with this color. Smitten Polish hit another home run with this one, I'm really just blown away and very happy to own such lovely polishes.

"Natural" Light

This is three thin coats of Pink Lemonade over Orly Bonder and sealed with OtD.  The coats dried super fast and very smooth - this is not a hungry glitter.

What I found odd is that the yellow base is pretty close to my actually skin color. In my room, the lighting is pretty crappy so it almost looks like mannequin hands.

Pink Lemonade is along the same lines of Mint Chip.  This one has the same types of glitter except they're pink, and a yellow base instead of green. I am really surprised by how well the yellow built.  It's a sheer yellow and it's pretty damn opaque at three thin coats. And just like Mint Chip, FANTASTIC formula and application!

Smitten Polish - Mint Chip

I am so excited to show you guys this polish as well as speak a little about Smitten Polish!  I've been super hesitant about most indie brands as they're typically chunky glitters. I've already gotten rid of all my Lynnderellas as they chip and I've been purging most of my chunky glitters as of lately. I thought that sparse glitter in a milky base may not behave a like "glitter" at all, and I was pleasantly surprised to be right!

This is 3 thin coats of Mint Chip over Orly Bonder and sealed with Out the door.

Mint Chip has tiny itty bitty shiny brown glitter as well as small hex glitter in the same color in a light minty green base.  It applied BEAUTIFULLY! The formula is amazing, really. It also wore really well on me.  I had one small chip after 8 hours of daycare work, which is a lot of hand washing. Usually glitters at work don't last past an hour without sheeting off. This is groundbreaking for me, and I know its due to Noelie's amazing polish!

It really does look like the ice cream. I know a lot of people dislike that particular flavor but it's not bad actually, especially in a milkshake.. nom.
